💨 Abstract

In the Gaza Strip, summer exacerbates the hardships faced by residents, with temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F). Families like the Hadayeds live in cramped tents, struggling without electricity or adequate water. The heat and humidity cause suffering, especially for children. Reduced water availability and failing sanitation systems threaten widespread illnesses. Israel's blockade has restricted essential supplies, and fuel shortages hinder water production.
